that's smart because the boomers are losing their hearing.Which is actually great for me. It means insurance cares about hearing aids now. Batteries are easier to find, people gawk at aids less. It's like the only positive thing the Boomers have ever done.

\How sad that the Boomers greatest contribution is losing their hearing.

this is something i've never understood: why is it that eyeglasses to help you see can be fashionable? walking canes can be fashionable? hell, i've even seen people in their wheelchairs or rascals all blinged out

but hearing aids ? oh no. be ashamed and try to hide it by jamming it halfway to your brain or make it 'old people beige' and hope it blends in with skin tone.

why not make them fashionable? for christsakes people wear gold & diamonds on their teeth!

as to your scorn for the Boomer generation - did your dad not love you enough or something?

Why not? He reduced soda and magazine capacity. Why not MP3 players? In the best interest of New Yorkers Bloomburg, MP3 Players should be limited to 256mb of music. Thats enough for about 40 songs. Nobody needs to listen to more than 40 songs at a time, anyway. But if you want more than 40 songs, you can just purchase another MP3 player.
